The shooting of an 18-year-old man in a parked car in downtown Port Washington on May 20 so shocked residents of the community that even people who had run-ins with police in the past reported tips in the case, District Attorney Adam Gerol said.

“This was intolerable to them,” Gerol said. “They wanted people to know we’re not going to have shootings in Port Washington. This doesn’t happen in our community. We won’t stand for it.”

The police, Gerol said, received numerous tips about the case primarily because people did not want this type of behavior in their community.
